Winter in St Gervais
St Gervais is a village located at the foot of Mont Blanc. It is a part of the Evasion Mont Blanc ski region which is spread across 450kms of piste, making it the third largest ski region in France. The gentle slopes around the village are ideal for beginners who are just starting skiing. At the same time, the connection to the larger ski area ensures that experienced skiers have plenty of terrain to explore, including the challenging runs down from the summit of Mont Joly.
If you love the feeling of travelling when you ski, this is the area for you. Charming villages such as Megeve and Combloux are all now directly linked to St Gervais and make for ideal day trips or lunch spots. Megeve, being renowned for its excellent restaurant scene, is only a 15-minute car ride away.
The resort’s cultural scene is vibrant, with regular events, markets, and exhibitions that showcase local traditions and craftsmanship. The thermal baths, fed by natural hot springs, offer a tranquil retreat for those looking to soothe sore muscles after a day on the slopes or simply to enjoy a day of pampering.
If you're searching for a high-end dining experience, you simply must try Le Serac. Similarly, if you're looking for delicious local cuisine paired with stunning views, La Ferme de Cupelin is an excellent choice. For an enjoyable after-ski experience, Tête à Thé is a popular spot thanks to its warm atmosphere and live music. On the other hand, if you're interested in a more modern twist on the traditional ski bar, Pur Bar should be on your list.

Frequently Asked Questions About Property in St Gervais
What is the average price of ski property in St Gervais?
The market average typically sits between €6,500 and €8,500 per square metre in St Gervais. For high-end new-build apartments or renovated chalets near the Bettex lift or in the historic town centre, prices are rising and can range from €9,000 to €12,000 per square metre. Resale apartments, particularly those in the lower village or requiring refreshment, can still be found for €5,000 to €6,500 per square metre, making it one of the most accessible entry points into the Mont Blanc massif.
Is St Gervais a good place for property investment?
The recently completed "Valléen" lift connects the Le Fayet train station directly to the ski village. This is a game-changer. It means visitors can take a high-speed TGV from Paris or a train from Geneva directly to the bottom of the lift, making St Gervais the only true car-free ski destination in the region. You are buying into the third-largest ski area in France (445km of pistes). Home to the world-famous Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc Thermal Spa, the town attracts a dedicated clientele of wellness tourists year-round. This ensures rental demand isn't just dependent on snow, but also on the booming health and spa tourism sector.
What makes St Gervais unique?
It is the starting point of the highest rack railway in France. This vintage train takes skiers and hikers up to the Nid d'Aigle (2,372m), offering a unique way to access high-altitude terrain and the Bionnassay glacier that no other resort can match. Technically, Saint-Gervais is the highest commune in France because the summit of Mont Blanc lies within its municipal territory (a fact they proudly dispute with Chamonix!). The town centre is filled with 19th-century palaces and Belle Époque hotels, giving it a sense of permanent, aristocratic history that feels more like a mini-city than a ski station.
